now that you mention her name, yeah, she was the one I was remembering
and from what I have seen ... when it comes to "child like" looking dolls ... I havent really seen any from any of the American or European dollmakers that actually look like real children to me, they all seem too stylized
the ones I have seen that are VERY realistic looking "children" dolls all come out of Asia (realistic looking without looking "too perfect") ... mostly Japan and Korea

I desperately want a Dollmore Lusion girl, and I"m assuming her to be somewhat smaller but similar to these. A beautiful little girl doll like the ones my grandmother collects, with the poseability and customization of a bjd.... She'd be gorgeous in vintage and Victorian children's clothing.
the Dollmore Lusion's ARE gorgeous ... and can be considered a 1/1 scale child sized bjd .... they are an 80cm doll (31.5 inches) ... which is very realistic for a small child

Rapunzel (Grimm's Fairy Tale) by Monika Peter-Leicht
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair " is part of the Grimm's Fairy Tale legend from 1812. So as the story goes Rapunzel had such long hair that the prince could climb the tower to see her using Rapunzel's long blonde tresses as a ladder. She is the third in Monika's Fairy Tale series.
Monika Peter- Leicht has created her beautiful 42" (106.7cm) size vinyl version of Rapunzel with eleven joints and green eyes. She is able to both sit and stand. The face is charming and the hair is long and luxurious. The long blonde hair actually reaches her feet. We have never before created a wig that long for such a tall doll. She is truly a breath taking beauty. You will be surprised when you get her in your home.
In addition to the incredible hair, Rapunzel is wearing a romantic period style outfit. She has on a white shirt with gold braid accents just above the elbow and on her cuffs. The vest and skirt are done in tones of pink with inset eyelet material. The vest is trimmed with gold braid to coordinate with her blouse. There is pretty ruching on the vest and the skirt. She also has on pantaloons and gold tone ballet slippers. She has pearls in the braid on top of her head and a gold bow in back. Rapunzel comes with a wooden doll stand. In addition, if you would like her to be matched with her Prince. Monika has created the Prince for the November group as well.
though if I was going to get a child doll in that size range I would choose one of the Japanese made ones
